Verbing

I love how you can make just about any noun into a verb.  You can fork things with a fork and you can comb your hair with a comb.  Technology has made this "verbing" even more easy and fun.  For example, friending (making someone your Facebook friend), tweeting, and skying are all pretty legit verbs if you ask me.  The most common one that I can think  of is "googled," which I do on a daily basis.  I, however, enjoy using uncommon verb creations such as ellipticizing AKA using the elliptical (the spelling is debatable). I need to think of more fun ones and try to incorporate them into my everyday vocabulary.  

As I was googling earlier today, I stumbled across a web page titled "100 Funniest Words in English." Ohh this is going to be fun.  Gardyloo!- A warning shouted before throwing water from above.  I need to remember that one so I can use it in the future.  Another fun one is bumbershoot, which is an umbrella. Hah fartlek is on the list.  Also on the list is discombobulate (to confuse) gobbledygook (nonsense).  Love it.  

Verano is summer in Spanish.  I find it so entertaining that there is a legit verb that means "to spend the summer vacation," which is veranear. iQué gracioso! Summer is sooo close. One week and three finals away to be exact.  At the moment, I'm indifferent about summer.  Kaity and Alaina aren't even going to be home.  They are staying in Iowa to work.  At least I'll finally get a break from schoolwork.
